Zhuang Ji asked questions: "Didn't the Zhiyue people come up from below?" The three-person cliff shouldn't be difficult, but the night scares you. ”

The people below passed the rope up first, and Liu Huaibei fixed the rope ladder firmly, and then shouted: "Zhiyue, you are familiar with it, go down first." ”

Zhuang Zhiyue said excitedly: "Uncle Huaibei chose the right person this time, which is called knowing people and making good use of them." ”

After Zhuang Ji heard Zhiyue's words, he praised and said: "I am relieved to be able to say such things." You also have to know people well, think well, recognize people well, and know a person correctly. ”

I don't know if Zhuang Zhiyue understood his father's words, he was not afraid at all in the face of the bottomless darkness, but went up to the rope ladder and said: "Hurry up, I will hold the rope ladder after I go down, and it will not swing back and forth." ”

Zhuang Zhiyue fought the front battle, and the soldiers behind fell one after another, like dumplings, straight to the bottomless ground. Coupled with the support of human ladders and trees, it didn't take long for the Chu army to go down with more than half of the soldiers.

Seeing this, Zhuang Ji said happily: "There are really more ways than difficulties, this will not soon be all in the customs, deep into the enemy's stomach, enough for them to bear." ”

Suddenly, among the soldiers who had descended to the ground, there were miserable cries such as "Oops, mother, help...... help.

Zhuang Ji asked loudly, "What's the matter?" Something you encountered? ”

Zhuang Zhiyue shouted with his mouth up: "Quick, there are a lot of wild things down there suddenly, biting our legs." ”

Wu Shixun ordered: "You take out your weapons to protect yourself." ”

More soldiers shouted, and the sound of shouts for help was heard.

Zhuang Ji said to Zhi Yue: "Zhi Yue, you order all the soldiers who go to the ground to line up, lean against the stone wall, and face the beast with a short sword in hand, so that you can ensure your own safety." ”

Wu Shixun said to Zhuang Ji: "It's better for me to go down to command first, I didn't expect such a thing to happen, you are on top, I am down, so you can deal with it freely." ”

Wu Shixun, who was on the rope ladder, was going down halfway up the mountain, when the rope suddenly broke, and he fell to the ground. And the ground was full of sharp stones of various sizes, and he could not stand up when he sat on them.

Zhiyue heard the sound of falling and asked, "Who fell?" ”

Wu Shixun endured the pain and said with difficulty: "Zhiyue, it's me, come and help me, ouch, it hurts." As soon as he finished speaking, a wild boar came at him with a whining and howling.

Zhuang Zhiyue heard the shout, and while fighting with the beast, he moved to Wu Shixun's side and said, "Wu Xianxian, why did you come down, danger, come behind me." ”

Wu Shixun said in a weak voice: "I can't get up, come and help me." ”

Zhiyue picked up Wu Shixun and pushed him behind him to protect him: "You quickly say to the above, you can't come down anymore, there are more and more beasts." ”

At this moment, a torch flew from above.

Liu Huaibei said to the following: "You take it, with it, the beast will not dare to bite people." ”

Wu Shixun looked at the torch and said, "Dare to extinguish it quickly, they are adding chaos by throwing the torch down." ”

One of the soldiers shone a torch into the distance, and saw a large black rumbling thing, some with red eyes, some green, moving towards this direction with its big mouth open. "No," he cried out, "wild boars, jackals, and so many things that are still bigger than cattle are coming to us." ”

Wu Shixun shouted: "You quickly extinguish the torch, with the torch, we will be exposed, as soon as the enemy sees it, there is a target for firing tigers and archery." ”

Zhuang Zhiyue retorted: "However, there are no torches, and our counterattack has no target, the beast is more agile than us, it can find us, and if we don't look, we can't find them." ”

Soldier A continued, "Wild beasts are most afraid of fire, and the torches are too small, so burn them with amplification." ”

When they said this, everyone suddenly opened their mouths, and they all agreed that the beast was afraid of fire and had to attack with fire.

Wu Shixun agreed with the soldiers on the ground to find firewood and dry grass, and shouted to Zhuang Ji, who was still on the cliff: "General Zhuang, continue to throw torches at us." ”

Zhuang Ji asked rhetorically: "Now you are not afraid of exposing the target?" ”

Zhuang Zhiyue hurriedly replied: "If there is no goal, there is no opponent, let's give the opponent a clear goal, what's wrong?" ”

As a result, the torches on the ground were all over the ground, and piles of fires were lit one after another, dyeing the cliff face a blood-red. When the beasts saw this, they all investigated and ran back.

Unbeknownst to him, this sea of fire drove away the beasts, but attracted a flurry of arrows.

I only heard the hidden place opposite, shouts such as "release arrows" and "hit the enemy", and one after another poisonous arrows flew towards the firelight.

Wu Shixun ordered: "Lie down quickly and pay attention to the arrows." ”

Zhuang Zhiyue shouted: "Sure enough, it is a good thing that Huai Yue did, the opposite side is the place where they repair the pedestal, and we have fallen into the trap of others." ”

Wu Shixun ordered: "Don't talk nonsense, prepare for a counterattack." ”

The enemy's arrows gradually thinned out, which provided the Chu army with an opportunity to reconnoiter the enemy's situation.

Zhuang Ji, who was still on the cliff, said to Wu Shixun: "You send dozens of people to make a detour behind the enemy on the opposite side, and then attack back and forth, so that they can't eat and walk around." ”

After Zhuang Zhiyue heard this, he enthusiastically signed up and said: "Wu Xianxian, I am one, I am familiar with the terrain over there, I promise to insert behind the enemy, drive them to the pass, let this fire come in handy, in addition to roasting wild boars, make a different barbecue." ”

With Wu Shixun's consent, Zhuang Zhiyue led nearly fifty people and made a long detour before finding a relatively gentle slope. But look at the torches that are already shaking on it.

Zhi Yue said puzzledly: "Strange, is there an enemy here?" Their battle line is too long. ”

Soldier A looked up repeatedly and pleaded: "I'll take two people up to reconnoiter first, if there is no large army of the enemy, this is the ideal passage to copy the enemy's rear road." ”

Zhiyue refused and said: "No, I'll go alone, you and everyone will wait, and I'll inform you as soon as there is a result." As he spoke, he crawled straight up to it.

As he approached the torch, Jiyue saw that there were only two people searching for something, and he tried to ask, "Hey, which way?" ”

The other party waved his torch, but he didn't see anyone, so he replied, "You are looking for the way, are you from Zhuang Jibu?" ”

As soon as Zhiyue heard the man speak, he knew that he had met a fellow countryman, and directly reported his name.

When the man heard this, he shouted happily: "Zhiyue, what are you doing here alone on such a dark day?" It's full of traps, so be careful. ”

Zhuang Zhiyue also said in surprise: "Zhong Baichang, it turned out to be you, with you, I won't be afraid." ”

It turned out that Xiao Bu had already stationed nearby with his team, and Zhong Yitong, who was dispatched, was trying to find a way to get in touch with Zhuang Jibu.
